Chu Zhao shook off Murong Xiao and walked out. He took Qingyu and the hammer that had been guarding the corridor and walked quickly towards the entrance of the courtyard.

When they arrived at the place, they saw that Zi Luo was not being beaten unilaterally. Su Nuanyu was holding her collar with one hand, but the other hand was tightly hugged by Hong Xiao. Su Nuanyu couldn't break free and screamed loudly. Hong Xiao let go of her, but Hong Xiao asked her to let go of Zi Luo first.

"Although Zi Luo served the concubine before, she is now a member of our Qionghua Academy. If she does something wrong, she will be punished by the princess. It has nothing to do with Concubine Su. What's more, she did nothing wrong at all. She is the prince It was too late, so I asked her to send the concubine back for fear of affecting the princess’ rest. The concubine slapped her without saying a word, was she expressing her dissatisfaction with the prince?”

Hong Xiao had always had a soft temper and a soft voice, but at this moment, her attitude was very tough and she spoke with confidence, which made Chu Zhao look at her with admiration.

Su Nuanyu didn't expect that the girls in Qionghuayuan were all so tough. After being snatched away by Hong Hao, she couldn't help but become angry.

"You cheap maid, stop messing around here." She said angrily, "When did I say that I was dissatisfied with the prince? I beat Zi Luo because she was rude to me..."

"Is it polite for you to make a noise in front of your mistress's door in the middle of the night?" Chu Zhao came over and interrupted her, saying to Tie Chui, "Go and help me teach this rude concubine a lesson."

"Okay." Tie Zhui rolled up his sleeves and walked over, grabbed Su Nuanyu's collar, and slapped her with his hand.

"Snapped!"

Su Nuanyu didn't even have time to react, and she received a heavy blow on the left cheek. Her ears were ringing, her eyes were filled with stars, and half of her face was immediately swollen.

Su Nuanyu screamed, finally letting go of Zi Luo, covering half of her burning face and screaming: "You stupid pig, how dare you hit me."

"Why don't you dare?" Tie Zhui raised his hand and slapped her again, causing the other side of her face to swell.

"Well, this is symmetrical." Tie Zhui was very satisfied. Amid Su Nuanyu's cry of pain, he turned to ask Zi Luo, "Sister, how many times did she hit you?"

Zi Luo was shocked and gestured with her fingers with complicated emotions: "Just for a moment, I was stopped by Sister Hongxiao from behind."

"Ah, then I hit you too much." Tie Shui let go of Su Nuanyu and apologized to her seriously, "I'm sorry, I forgot to ask beforehand."

Su Nuanyu lost her support and fell to the ground with a plop. She cursed with her swollen face: "You bitch..."

"Huh?" Tie Hammer rolled up his sleeves that he had already put down.

Su Nuanyu screamed in fright, got up and ran to Chu Zhao: "Sister, I came to visit you out of kindness. It's okay if you don't want to see me. Why would you let someone bully me like this?"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Zhao scolded her sternly: "I told you, don't call me sister. If you dare to scream again, I will beat you every time I see you."

Su Nuanyu hurriedly took two steps back. With the two slaps from the hammer, she already felt that her entire face did not feel like her own. The burning pain spread from her flesh to her bones, making her tremble all over, and she felt worse than death.

If Chu Zhao applied a few more touch-ups, would her face still be okay?

Also, she made such a big fuss and the prince didn't even come out. It seemed like he wouldn't care about her anymore.

She finally calmed down and knelt on the ground to apologize to Chu Zhao honestly: "Sister... Princess, forgive me. I came here to visit because I was worried about the princess's injury. That girl Zi Luo stopped me from entering. , I hit her in a moment of urgency, I didn’t mean to cause trouble, please forgive me, Princess."

"Yes, Princess, she didn't mean to be the concubine." Chun Ying, who had been kneeling on the ground since Chu Zhao came over, finally said a kind word to Su Nuanyu without any pain.

Chu Zhao said sarcastically: "You master and servant are a perfect match, equally kind and equally loyal."

"..." Chunying was not beaten, but her face started to hurt.

At this time, Murong Xiao finally arrived belatedly. He was wearing a black robe and standing under the lantern at the door with his hands behind his hands. His face was solemn and showed no emotion or anger.

"Your Majesty!" Su Nuanyu cried immediately, knelt down to his feet, and hugged his legs sadly, "Your Majesty, you are finally here, you have to make the decision for me!"

Murong Xiao lowered his head to look at her, and sighed after a long time: "I told you to come back tomorrow, why didn't you listen?"

Su Nuanyu looked at him in astonishment, not expecting that he would downplay his grievances so lightly.

By saying this, did he acquiesce to Chu Zhao's humiliation of her?

Su Nuanyu closed her eyes, as if she didn't recognize this man until now, and two sad tears fell to the dust.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, it's not because I didn't listen to Your Majesty's words. I came here in a hurry late at night when I heard that the Princess was assassinated. If I can't even see the Princess's face, how can I go back to rest in peace?"

The reason why she made such a fuss was to attract Chu Zhao and Murong Xiao so that she could take the opportunity to find out about the assassins.

Although Chu Zhao and Murong Xiao had finally come out after being beaten, she couldn't let go of this opportunity no matter how uncomfortable she was.

Seeing that she was crying sadly, Murong Xiao turned to look at Chu Zhao and said, "Isn't the princess already in front of you? She was scratched on the arm by the assassin. It's nothing serious. The assassin has escaped from the house, even if he wasn't caught. If you arrive, you will probably not dare to come again, so can you rest assured?"

Su Nuanyu stopped crying and looked at Chu Zhao's arm wrapped in white cloth. She saw that there was faint blood seeping on the white cloth. She didn't know whether it was true or not.

However, Chu Zhao had beaten her himself before, but this time he asked his subordinates to do it for him. He must have been injured to some extent.

She was very sorry that Chu Zhao was not stabbed to death, but the fact that the assassin could escape was already a blessing in misfortune. The rest would be left to her to discuss with Magistrate Su before making any calculations.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me the truth. The Princess is fine. I feel relieved. I don't dare to disturb the Princess's rest, so I will go back now." She said pitifully.

Murong Xiao nodded: "Go ahead and have a good rest. Don't think too much. I will visit you when I have time."

Su Nuanyu's face lit up, and before she could say the word "good", Chu Zhao said first, "No, she beat my man, don't let it go like this."

Seeing her reluctance, Murong Xiao was quite impatient: "Didn't you already have someone fight her back? What else do you want?"

"I'm going to lock her in the dungeon for a few days," Chu Zhao said.

Su Nuanyu's expression suddenly changed.

Murong Xiao was also furious: "Chu Zhao, don't act too willfully!"

"Why am I so willful?" Chu Zhao said, "You are allowed to lock me up, but you are not allowed to lock her up. Don't be too obvious about your favoritism, Your Majesty!"

"you……"

"How am I doing?" Chu Zhao said, "The old lady just reminded the prince not to spoil his concubines and destroy his wives. Has the prince forgotten it?"

"..." Murong Xiao was speechless, angrily put his hand on his forehead, and said helplessly to Su Nuanyu, "Since the princess has said so, I will wrong you to live in the dungeon for a few days. I will soon I’ll take you out.”

Su Nuanyu's eyes widened and she looked at Murong Xiao in disbelief. She didn't expect that he would be so obedient to Chu Zhao now.

She stopped struggling, lowered her head and replied, "It's all up to the prince to make the decision."

"Yes." Murong Xiao patted her shoulder distressedly and said in a loud voice, "Beiyuan, send the concubine to the dungeon."

"Yes." Beiyuan flashed out of the darkness like a ghost, extending his hand to Su Nuanyu to invite him, "Concubine, please come!"

Su Nuanyu bid farewell to Murong Xiao and Chu Zhao pitifully and followed Beiyuan.

Chunying did not follow, but knelt on the ground and said: "Princess, I want to stay in Qionghuayuan to serve you."

"..." Chu Zhao looked down at her, "Qionghuayuan has enough manpower. You should go to the dungeon to keep company with your concubine to prevent her from being lonely."

Chunying suddenly became anxious and wanted to show her loyalty again, so Tie Zhui stepped forward and slapped her.

Chunying was so frightened that she lost her soul and crawled on the ground to chase Su Nuanyu.

"Hahahaha..." The four girls all laughed.

Zi Luo held Tie Hammer's hand, her eyes filled with admiring little stars: "Sister Tie Hammer, you are so awesome."

Tie Zhui reached out to rub her head and said boldly, "I told you I would cover you."

When Chu Zhao heard her say this, his mood immediately became complicated again.

"Are you satisfied now?" Murong Xiao glared at her, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her back, "Let's go, it will be dawn if we don't sleep."

Chu Zhao: "..."

It doesn't matter whether it's daylight or not. Can you stop saying it so ambiguously?
